'Breaking Bad's Vince Gilligan 'has strong feeling' about ending

Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan has said that he already has a "strong feeling" of how the show is going to end.

Gilligan and his team are currently working on the last few episodes of the AMC drama, and he said that while most of the major elements are in place, he is always keen to work improvements into the script.

"We have a strong feeling of what the ending's going to be," he told The Huffington Post. "We have most of the major signposts in place, but there may be some details that we currently lack. And we're always on the lookout for something.

"We have some good stuff that we're excited about, but we're always open to something better that may come along."

Gilligan also said that writing had fallen behind schedule slightly because the team wanted to concentrate on making sure the scripts are of the best quality.

"We're plugging away on the fourth episode out of the final eight, and we're a little bit behind, because we're struggling to make it as good as we possibly can, and to think through all the consequences," he explained.

"It's sort of like playing a game of chess. You think, 'OK, if Walt does this, then what does this character do? What does that character do? What happens if this series of events occurs? What is the counter-move?' So it's sort of like thinking as a chess player, which is unfortunate because tiddlywinks is more my speed."

Breaking Bad returns to AMC for its final episodes next summer.
